Synopsis

Following the stunning success of her high-spirited debut, Karen Witemeyer delivers this compelling blend of humor and romance. When Adelaid Proctor finds herself stranded in 1883 Texas, she's hired by a British-born sheep rancher as governess for a daughter still grief-stricken over her mom's death. As Adelaid gently draws the girl out of her shell of silence, the governess and sheep rancher, at first, resist their mutual attraction. But as a looming standoff draws near, it will either shatter or strengthen their developing romance.

This book was so much fun. Adelaide is such a whimsical character who literally does have her head in the clouds at times. Her bookwormish ways also play a key part in her personality, which was fun and bright and sparkles and sunshine. She loves Jane Eyre, a book I despise, so I didn't connect on t......more

This is a story set in Texas in the late 1800s. Miss Adelaide Proctor took a job as a teacher after her father died, and part of the conditions of the contract were that she wasn’t allowed to marry for 2 years.
